Greetings from Florida! Wow, when we look at the weather map and channel with all its' storms and blizzards from coast to coast, we are more than thrilled to be here in Florida. According to the unbelievable, nonstop, bumper to bumper traffic, with license plates from everywhere in the US, I think everybody had the same idea - get out of the snow and cold. I don't blame them!
Yes, these past few months have flown by - guess what - only 10 months until Christmas, ha! (Just had to throw that in).
Speaking of flying, a couple weeks ago Gloria and I flew to Nashville to record our upcoming 50th Anniversary album. We flew into Charolotte NC to catch a connecting flight and got stranded there for 32 hours due to an ice storm. Finally, we arrived in Nashville just before they encountered a major ice storm, literally shutting Nashville down for 2 days…including our two scheduled days for recording. We nestled in our daughter LaDawn's home…so that wasn't all bad - ha! The recording studio graciously rescheduled our recording dates, so we were able to wrap it all up before we needed to leave!

Needless to say, we've been kept busy and Larry has almost all of 2015 scheduled for rallies. The more he schedules, the more vitamins and energy drinks I buy just to keep up with his enthusiasm. We have a great year of services ahead and expect hundreds to make decisions for Christ. We are excited!
We pray you'll have a wonderful week!
Gloria

Ole called the airlines information desk and inquired, "How long does it take ta fly from Minneapolis to Fargo?
"Just a minute," said the busy clerk.
"Vell, said Ole, "if it has to go dat fast, I tink I'll yust take da bus."
{Recipe}
1 (2-3 lb.) chicken, cut up
1 cup western dressing
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
Arrange chicken pieces in 9x13 pan. Mix dressing with onion soup; mix thoroughly. Pour over chicken. Bake at 325 degrees for 2 ½ -3 hours or until chicken is tender. Put foil over top when baking.
Sponges are great, but they are also perfect for harboring millions of germs. I do like the sponges with the rough side for scrubbing out hard-to-clean pots and pans, but end up throwing them out before their life cycle is over. What a waste! Instead, put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes and watch as the microbes sizzle away.
